Interviews» Eliane Elias (from North Sea Jazz Festival)

"Undiscovered tapes of Bill Evans"

This web-found (incomplete) interview of Eliane Elias includes a beautiful information about the "Something for You (Blue Note, 2008)" album of Mrs. Elias.

Mrs. Elias says that Marc Johnson (the husband of Mrs. Elias & the last bassist of the Bill Evans Trio) had received a cassette from Bill Evans about one week before he passed away. This cassette was rediscovered by Marc and he played it for Eliane; it had some new music that Bill Evans was working on, and this music was not recorded before. Mrs. Elias was so taken by that, and it was the beginning of the idea of the album."
